🌸😹I am beyond vexed by this constant comparison of two units that could not be anymore different than one another, and are only compared on account of one aspect of their kit that appear similar, but actually aren’t.😹🌸
Yelan is mainly dmg focused and xq is more utility based. They compliment eachother very well. A c6 Xq is as comparable to a c0 Yelan taking everything into consideration. Thats how i always looked at it
Just depends on your team really. I use Yelan in a Eula team because Eula's burst is basically a countdown and Yelan's increases burst damage as time goes on. Like Howlz said they are definitley different units.
The only real thing they have in common is that they both shoot off little water projectiles during burst. Besides that they are 2 different characters. (Also Yelan burst has better auto targeting and goes farther than Xingqiu’s which struggles against flying targets sometimes)
Who made it in before 4k? 😎
I’m so glad I got Yelan on her first banner. I wanted to use Xingqiu for sometime but his design wasn’t fun enough or appealing to me. Yelan was the cool Xingqiu I always wanted and she’s great. Definitely one of my favorite units.
the misconceptions is that xinque more which really and only better in Hi Tao team other than that Yelan does more than double the the damage xinque does And as for hyberbloom it's doesn't how much Hydro you will because the limit is 2 bloom only and kuki apply Electro in 1.5 at that point xinque and Yelan both can create more than 2 bloom
I have hu tao and xingqui already so this time around I’m definitely getting yelan
This vid needed to be done as this misconception has been out since Yelan been out.
It’s as egregious as “Itto is a 5-star Noelle”, or “C6 makes Noelle go full Itto”… (unsubscribed so fast… LOL)
A more accurate comparison as you mentioned would be trading utility for more damage. Some similarities but the differences are more than enough to say they’re different units.
PS. Xingqiu also with the additionally useful Resistance to Interruption, which is really useful for Hu Tao & Yoi teams if you’re not using a shielder. Probably more important with Yoi since you never wanna miss a Vape on her N5
PPS. Slow Hydro has uses too. Hmmm… like Yelan might better for Alhaitham since you generate less seeds, & you can get more Spread damage in a Quickbloom team. Nothing wrong with going full Hyperbloom team though since its just an OP reaction
Although not her intended role, Yelan is a great main DPS and shes more fun than most dps units. Easy as hell to build. Pile your leftover hp artifacts on her and zoom zoom a doom doom your enemies then destroy them with her burst assisted fast as hell normal attacks.
Yelan is not a better Xingqiu she completes him
For me I find that Xinqiu flows better with melee characters like Hutao while Yelan works better with ranged characters like Yoimiya so ultimately that’s how I approach using them when team building
I am thinking of going from a C1 to C2 Yelan. However, I understand that Yelan’s C2 will change her quick bloom teams into hyperbloom ones. Is there any situation where quick bloom is better than hyperbloom? If it matters, I don’t intend to play Cyno much if at all.
Among all the charecters Xingqiu has one of the best KIT what makes Xingqiu so good is his kit I have Yelan lvl 90 but I used my c3Xingqui lvl80-90 in Nahida Kuki hyperbloom team

Question about yelan she a meta character or a must pull or not? Because I don't have yelan and I only have xingqiu yet. Yelan banner are fomo right?
Me watching this video knowing damn well I’m using Yelan because WAIFU: hmm yes very interesting… good data 🧐
for me yelan is much better 😍
I always found Yelan to be better in terms of sheer personal damage while Xingqiu is better for his utility.
That said I often use them both together with my Yoimiya and Yun Jin, really helps me delete enemies 😂😂

I like yalen and got her on the first banner ended up triple crowning her and got her weapon. I sort of want her c1 but this banner and I’m usually down to risk cons on the 50/50 because either I get the con or I guarantee my next 5*, but I might just wait it out.
i don't want a batter xingqiu or another xingqiu i want yelan her self
Yalan is gonna be perfect with my ayato and xing is gonna be with my Al heithem. Super excited to get both 🙂
I’m going for Yelan. Not because I need her (I have c6 xingqiu), but because I don’t need Hu Tao. I need more support characters, not DPS.
i have both already so easy xD
How is your burst on „W“???😧😧
Total side note, but the music and the overall editing honestly to me is so impressive!! I just recently got into video making and WOW is it COMPLICATED, really and truly thank you for these videos and props you I’m so happy to say I’m a new subscriber 🥹❤❤
I know youve got a Ning vid coming up and Ive been trying to find the best teammates for her. Right now Ive settled on c6 Yunjin, c6 Thoma, and Bennet. Seems to hit all marks as all 3 are buffers, you have your healing and shielding. I have engulfing lightning as both polearms which makes them both able to burst on rotation. Ning with c3 Tullaytullah to help with attack speed and 4p Echoes set. Just doesnt seem to be clicking the way I imagined though. Any tweaking or thoughts on this you can do when you revisit her would be appreciated.
She’s my favorite character so she wins by default. But I have her c2 and I find her to be perfect for my Yoimiya/Hu Tao team.
Well explained. Thx
I didn't know about that buff during her first banner , now imma pull for her
Yelan is definitely not a better Xingqiu, but she is definitely a godlike character. Having a c0 Yelan with a c6 Xingqiu is something I wish everyone could experience.
However, at least for me Yelan blows Xingqius damage out of the water. Yelan is one of those characters that realllly likes to be hyper invested. My Yelan is currently sitting at 70/266 with her signature weapon with 4 piece emblem and man….. that damage chefs kiss
